KitchenAid KSSC42FKB

Model # KSSC42FKB

The KSSC42FKB is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from April 2003 to August 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years old. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KSSC42FKB00, KSSC42FKB01, KSSC42FKB02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC42FKB; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. At this age the work on a KSSC42FKB is mostly mechanical and electrical rather than electronic — seals, fans, defrost components, switches and the start device. Those are the parts still in circulation for cabinets of this generation, and they are what we check availability on before any figure is put on a repair.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Shelf and bin breakages, which on a discontinued model are worth chasing early

02

Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet

03

Temperature sensing wandered out of calibration with age, giving a cabinet that never settles

04

Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC42FKB FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSSC42FKB. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSSC42FKB string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KSSC42FKB is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSC42FKB before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KSSC42FKB is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KSSC42FKB has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
